Mario Makes History at the Box Office
The Super Mario Galaxy movie just had the biggest opening of 2026 with $190M domestic and $372.5M globally in just five days.
Why the Numbers Are Staggering
For context, these opening numbers beat every other film released so far in 2026. Nintendo and Illumination have a franchise on their hands.
Critical Reception
Critics praised the animation quality and the faithful recreation of the Galaxy universe. Audiences gave it an A+ CinemaScore rating.
Who Voices the Characters?
The film brings back fan-favorite voice cast from the original Super Mario Bros. Movie with some new additions for the Galaxy storyline.
What Happens in the Film?
Mario takes to outer space in a galaxy-spanning adventure. Expect gravity-defying platforming and cosmic worlds brought to life on screen.
What This Means for Nintendo
A third film is almost certain now. Nintendo’s cinematic universe is officially a thing – and it’s already bigger than most Hollywood franchises.
